Holland deserved to lose. ****ing horrible tackles, constant fouling. How Van Bommel has only managed 2 yellow cards during the tournament, is beyond me. Robben diving all the ****ing time. Holland lucked it this far; being in a crap group, and then drawing crap teams for the first knockout stage. Frankly, I don't even call the match against Brazil a match that Holland won; it was a match that Brazil lost. Melo is an absolute idiot, and I hope FIFA and the FA fine the **** out of him for his "assault" on Robben. 2 incredibly flukey goals saw Holland go through instead of Brazil. That in itself was a disappointment, especially as Holland did not deserve to win that match, playing the abysmal football they played that day, and have played every match thus far.
The only team that deserved to win this cup was Germany, hands down; like the BBC commentators said after the Final tonight, "If Holland had won tonight, it would have been a bad thing for football". It's so damn true -_- I didn't think I would ever dislike anyone more than Cristiano Ronaldo, but now Robben has taken that spotlight. Most tasteless, wasteful and unproffessional player at the tournament this year, his diving is and was an absolute disgrace, and he sets a bad example. Then there's Mark van Bommel. Wow. Averaging almost 5 major fouls in each game, and only seeing two cards during the course of the tournament, both of which came in the final two games for Holland, and one of them was for kicking the ball after play had been stopped. He is another that needs disciplinary action, and players have been lucky to have not been carried off on a stretcher from one of his career-ending tackles. Even though I hated Spain's Barcelona style of play, and was so happy when Switzerland beat them in their opening group stages game, after seeing Holland's performances during the knockout stages and asking myself "How in the **** did they manage to progress this far, playing like that?", Spain was my team for the night, and although I didn't particularly want either team to win the final, I'm just glad Holland didn't take it. The Netherland's performance in this world cup, and especially tonight, has left a horrible taste, and it was an embarrasment to the dutch legends such as Kluivert, Bergkamp, Overmars, and Cryuff that Holland have produced over the years. Thank **** for Howard Webb refereeing the game. Otherwise it would have been another match running rampant with aggressive challenges from Holland, going unpunished again, and again, and again.
